the best train seats must have both these elements; they must be window seats, and the must face the direction the train is moving in.
during this travelling time, i usually have only been able to find a seat that is either the window, or either the direction. therefore, you can well imagine my smug contentment on having both requirements fullfilled on my way from vienna to prague. contentment that was very short lived, that is.

15 minutes in, i realise that i am stuck in an ac compartment, that means the windows dont open. now why would i need to open the windows in the comfort of an ac compartment? well simply because the fucking ac just never started! and for the rest of the 4.5hour journey i melted through my skin, and reached a point where even the seat against my bum was too hot. i was glad to get out and into the far more tolerable european summer.

anywho.
prague is far too nice to complain about train journeys through the bowels of the devil himself.
and i plan to come back to eastern europe, next time with friends. there is much too much fun to be had and i simply cant do it all on my own.

to divert to the real point of this post, before i get carried away with more complaining, which is that ive set up a new blog where im going to put up some posts about my travels, straight from my journal, with pictures et al.
